Hmm, I also notice that mimetype is able to correctly determine the
SVG-ness of the file:

$ mimetype daggers.svg
daggers.svg: image/svg+xml

And here's a way to get the same via xml_grep:

$ xml_grep --text --root svg daggers.svg       
image/svg+xml16"32"8.25"5.85"8"13.86"16"27.70"39.17"

I wonder if `mimetype` would be sufficient to the task?
